These films celebrate the work of director Roman Polanski but also that of soundtrack composer and jazz pianist Krzysztof Komeda, a seminal influence in the history of Polish Jazz.

The Oscar-nominated Knife In The Water (1963 / 94 min / 6pm) is a subtly chilling tale about a married couple who pick up a young hitchhiker.

In Rosemary’s Baby (1968, 136 min, 8.15pm) the mix of Polański’s ordinary settings and Komeda’s score of jazz, 60's pop and unique gothic orchestra lead to a truly disturbing effect in this low key thriller with a shocking twist.

Komeda's powerful and chilling theme, The Lullaby, is one of the most memorable of all horror film themes.

(Part of the Polish Film Festival in Exeter - Kinoteka on Tour 2010 , which is supported by The Polish Cultural Institute, Polish National Tourist Office and Exeter City Council).
